Thea

Thea is a Greek name, a short form of compound names beginning or ending with the element theos, meaning god, most notably Dorothea (gift of god) and Theodora (gift of god, with the elements reversed). In Greek mythology, Theia was also the name of a Titan goddess associated with light, sight, and the brilliance of precious metals, lending the name an additional divine resonance. It has long been used as an independent given name throughout Scandinavia, Germany, and the English-speaking world. Related forms include Theia, Theodora, and Dorothea.
